"Its tender observations (...) and portrait of fading innocence, are gently winning." Time Out

"(A) wistful indie drama." Independent on Sunday

"The Myth of the American Sleepover is a surprise indie charmer."

Mail on Sunday

"The film's mood is all its own, characterized by an elegiac score, easygoing performances and gorgeous cinematography." The Guardian

"The Myth of the American Sleepover (...) is as indie and as cutesie as they come."

The Times

"There is a lot to like here - not least disarmingly natural performances from the mostly non-professional actors." Time Out London

"Mitchell finds a balance that's just right in juggling all these emotions and presenting them believably in screen. His little movie is pretty much perfect in depicting youthful imperfection." Associated Press

"With The Myth of the American Sleepover, first-time writer-director David Robert Mitchell tells a coming-of-age tale with such freshness and such bemused insight it's as if it has never been told before." Los Angeles Times

"What Mr. Mitchell gets splendidly right in this quiet, observant film, is the unsteady mixture of sophistication and naïveté that is central to the modern American teenage way of being in the world." The New York Times
